The mass spectrometric behaviour of mono- and di-carboxylated polyethylene glycols (PEGCs and CPEGCs) and carboxylated octylphenol ethoxylates (OPECs) is discussed. The tendency for ionisation (deprotonation, protonation and cationisation by alkali–metal cations) of carboxylated PEGs was compared with that of non-carboxylated analogues by using both secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and electrospray ionisation (ESI). The fragmentation of the PEGCs and CPEGCs is discussed and also compared with their neutral analogues, PEGs. B/E linked-scan mass spectra were recorded, using secondary-ion mass spectrometry as a method for ion generation, for deprotonated and protonated molecules as well as for molecules cationised by alkali–metal cations. The fragmentation behaviour of PEGs is found to be different from that of CPEGCs, The presence of carboxyl groups may be confirmed not only by the determination of molecular weights of the ethoxylates studied, but also on the basis of the fragment ions formed. The metastable decomposition of the [OPEC-H]− ions proceeds through the cleavage of the bond between the octylphenol moiety and the ethoxylene chain and leads to the octylphenoxyl anions. It permits determination of the mass of the hydrophobic moiety of the studied carboxylated alkylphenol ethoxylate. ESI mass spectra recorded in the negative-ion mode were found to be more suitable than SI mass spectra for the determination of the average molecular weight of carboxylated ethoxylates.

AbstractBy means of 29Si spectroscopy, it is established that the distribution of silicate anions in alkaline silicate solutions is a moderate function of base composition. At a fixed SiO2. concentration and silicate ratio, the proportion of Si present in oligomeric and cage-like structures increases in progressing from Li to Cs hydroxide. Interactions between alkali metal cations and silicate anions are investigated using NMR spectroscopy of the cations; in this way the concentration of ion pairs is measured as a function of cation size. As a result the silicate redistribution is ascribed to cation-silicate anion pairing and to a higher selectivity for ion pairing by large silicate anions as cation size increases.

The [PW12O40]3−[M+(H2O)16]3 is a “hydrogen bonded” ion-pair complex for M = Li, Na and K, but is a “contact” ion-pair complex for M = Rb and Cs, intermolecular charge transfer from the solvated counter cations M+(H2O)16 to the anion [PW12O40]3−.

While determination of the crystal structure of 1,3;2,4-biscrown-5-calix[4] arene (chloroform solvate, triclinic. space group Pī, a 11.151(4), b 16.832(6), c 21.929(8) Ǻ, α 98.78(3), β 92.02(3), γ 92.12(3)°, Z = 4 f.u ., conventional R on |F| 0.085 for 4699 'observed', I > 2σ(I), reflections) shows that this ligand has a closely similar solid state conformation to that of its previously characterized, substituted analogue, 1,3;2,4-biscrown-5-p-t-butylcalix[4] arene, the two ligands do differ significantly in their interactions with alkali metal picrates in chloroform solution. Most obviously, the t-butyl substituents of the latter ligand appear to inhibit caesium binding. changing the nature of the interactions to a form similar to that of both ligands with Li+ and Na+, for which 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy indicates weak exocyclic binding to some of the polyether oxygen atoms. 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy also provides evidence of picrate binding to the metals in isomeric forms.

An extensive exploration of the interaction PESs of phenol and catechol complexes with alkali metal cations reveals a striking effect of –OH substitution on the balance between cation-π and σ-type noncovalent interactions.
